Depth | Jungian Psychology
Psychological Alchemy
A Conversation with the Unconscious
Instead of asking only, “What’s wrong?”, Jungian-informed therapy asks “What is trying to emerge?” Therapy is a dialogue between your conscious self and the deeper mind that speaks in the language of dreams, images, signs, synchronicities, and emotions. The inner terrain of our inner worlds - with its shadows, treasures, and untapped potential - holds the map of greater wholeness.
Depth Psychology: An Integrated Approach to Healing
Jungian psychology, founded by Carl Gustav Jung, offers a profound path toward healing trauma, navigating grief, and reconnecting with your authentic self. Unlike symptom-focused approaches, Jungian therapy explores the unconscious, dreams, archetypes, and the deeper layers of the psyche to foster lasting transformation.
As a holistic, heart-centered therapist, I integrate Jungian depth work with trauma-informed care to support individuals experiencing:
Childhood trauma and attachment wounds
Complicated or disenfranchised grief
Deconstruction
Identity transitions and life crossroads
Anxiety, depression, and existential distress
Personal growth and self-discovery
This work is not about “fixing” you. It’s about remembering who you truly are. This approach to therapy explores patterns, emotional experiences, and personal meaning. The central focus of therapy is to develop insight and understanding rather than symptom management. Together, we may explore:
recurring emotional and relational patterns
dreams, synchronicities, images, and symbolic experiences
inner conflicts and the “shadow” aspects of self
identity, purpose, and personal growth
By bringing unconscious material into awareness, we create the opportunity for self-understanding, emotional integration, and a stronger sense of authenticity.
What Is Jungian Psychology?
Jungian psychology is rooted in the understanding that healing happens through integration, not suppression. Core principles include:
The Shadow
The shadow represents the parts of ourselves we’ve disowned or hidden. Trauma often pushes essential parts of us into the unconscious. Through gentle, compassionate exploration, we reclaim these parts and restore wholeness.
Archetypes
Jung observed universal patterns of experience—archetypes—that shape our inner and outer lives. These patterns influence relationships, grief journeys, spiritual awakenings, and personal growth.
Individuation
Individuation is the lifelong process of becoming your true self. It involves integrating conscious and unconscious aspects of your psyche so you can live with greater clarity, meaning, and authenticity.
Jungian Therapy for Trauma
Trauma fragments the psyche. You may feel disconnected from your body, emotions, faith, or sense of identity.
Jungian-informed trauma therapy:
Honors protective parts without pathologizing them
Works symbolically with dreams and imagery
Supports nervous system regulation
Integrates attachment repair
Encourages compassionate shadow integration
Rather than reliving trauma, we work at the pace of safety and consent, allowing deeper layers to unfold organically.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate” C. G. Jung
Grief as Sacred
Grief is not something to “get over.” It is a profound psychological and spiritual transformation.
Jungian grief work recognizes that loss reshape your life and identity. You may benefit from therapy if you have experienced:
The death of a loved one
The loss of a relationship
Deconstruction
Shifts in identity
Depth | Jungian psychology is unique in its approach to grief. Grief is not seen as a problem to be solved. Instead grief is seen as a deeply transformative and sacred experience.
Therapy for Spiritual Deconstruction & Identity Shifts
Many clients come to therapy during a period of spiritual unraveling. Religious deconstruction can trigger anxiety, guilt, relational strain, and existential fear.
Jungian psychology offers a symbolic and archetypal framework that:
Honors your spiritual experience without dogma
Integrates shadow aspects of belief systems
Supports reconstruction rooted in authenticity
Encourages inner authority and discernment
